It’s not known entirely why, but the development of Parkinson’s disease is also associated with the onset of seborrheic dermatitis (SD). One new study found that SD was more prevalent in people with severe movement symptoms.
The authors of the study wrote: “After adjusting for age, disease duration, and sex, there remained a positive correlation between the severity of motor symptoms and SD.”
SD is a “common skin condition” that usually strikes the scalp. People with Parkinson’s suffer from three scalp problems. These are scaly patches, inflamed red skin, and “stubborn dandruff”, explains the Mayo Clinic.
The health body explains: “It usually affects oily areas of the body, such as the face, sides of the nose, eyebrows, ears, eyelids and chest.”
The skin condition is thought to affect between 19 and 59 percent of patients with Parkinson’s disease, based on many laboratory studies.
